This crock pot Santa Fe chicken is packed with 7 different veggies, spiced with zesty, Tex-Mex flavors and serves at least 6 happy cowboys. It's also gluten-free and dairy-free!
It takes only 30 minutes (or less!) to prepare your ingredients, then all you have to do is sit back and wait for your crockpot to fill your home with the dreamiest aroma.
My favorite kinds of recipes for get-togethers with friends are make-ahead meals so I'm not toiling in the kitchen until dinner. I can just place a pot on the stove, serve a few cocktails, then simply heat up dinner when folks are getting hungry.
This Santa Fe chicken is such a perfect meal for a movie night with buddies or causal, cozy poker night. Not to mention, an inexpensive meal (even when all ingredients are organic!) for the whole family.
It can be served right away or frozen for months!
Essentially, "Santa Fe"- style cooking is traditionally defined by its spices and ingredients such as shredded meats, beans, peppers, corn, onion and tomatoes.
You'll find that most recipes for Santa Fe Chicken are entirely different – some are baked, some are cooked in a skillet, some include cheese or are served as a casserole. But what you'll find in common between every recipe, is they almost all include the same ingredients with just a few variations.
This recipe contains no dairy which makes it a little different than other recipes that often contain cheese. But by all means, grate some cheddar or sprinkle it with some tasty cotija cheese if you're feeling cheesy!
How Should I Serve Santa Fe Chicken?
I like to serve it just as it comes, like a stew, but you can spoon it into tortillas or even use it to make some very impressive nachos! Simply strain the chicken broth, pile it on top of your chips, cover with grated cheese and bake for 20 minutes at 375.
The spiciness of this recipe is a mild-medium. If you want to give it a little more kick, add another ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or more!). You can also add a teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce or ¼ cup of your favorite spicy salsa to add a little more spicy excitement.
1. Add 1 cup of basmati rice to 1½ cups of water to a pot (or as directed for 1 cup of rice on your package). Simmer while you prepare your other ingredients.
You won't be adding your rice to the crock pot until it's just about done, otherwise it just turns to mush. Once finished, simply place it in a container and refrigerate until your chicken is done.
2. – 4. Chop your peppers and onions and add to your crock pot.
5. Add your cans of corn, diced tomatoes and kidney beans to your crockpot with your diced onions and peppers.
6. In 1½ cups of organic chicken broth, mix your garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle chili pepper, cayenne pepper and sea salt (a teaspoon of each spice), and pour into the crock pot.
7. Place your chicken breasts on top of the vegetables and season with a little salt, pepper and garlic powder. Set the crock pot to "low" and leave for 9 hours.
8. After 9 hours, remove the chicken breasts, and simply shred them on a cutting board with 2 forks.
9. Pour your refrigerated rice and the shredded chicken back into the crock pot, give it a nice stir, turn it to "High" and cook for another 30 minutes. Serve or refrigerate in a covered container.

Democrat Amanda Septimo, an aide to Rep. Jose Serrano, has officially joined the race to replace CM Maria del Carmen Arroyo.
In her announcement, Ms. Septimo alluded to the number of women in the City Council . "It is no secret that the number of women elected in the New York City Council is nearing crisis levels, and is in no way representative of our city at large. I look forward to playing a role in ushering in a tide of change in this regard," said Septimo. The City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito is a Puerto Rican woman. Before CM Arroyo resigned, four of the 9-member Bronx City Council delegation are women.
Earlier yesterday, businessman George Alvarez announced that he was running as well. In his press statement, Alvarez said that he was running to improve Bronx schools so that every child has the chance to succeed. "I am running to raise the minimum wage, to help small businesses grow and create new jobs and opportunities for the hard-working people of the Bronx. I am running to protect and create affordable housing and make sure our senior citizens can live here safely and securely and not be worried that they will get pushed out of the neighborhoods they help build," Alvarez stated.
Community activist and entrepreneur Julio Pabón announced in December. Other candidates include CB 2 district manager Rafael Salamanca, Rev. J. Loren Russell, union activist Helen Foreman-Hines, City HRA business developer Anthony Sanchez, and former Arroyo chief of staff Joann Otero.
On Monday, Mayor Bill de Blasio called the special election to replace CM Maria del Carmen Arroyo (17th Council District) for Tuesday, February 23, 2016. The election is nonpartisan and a minimum of 450 signatures of registered voters are required to make the ballot.
Sources at the City Board of Elections say that Community Board 2 district manager Rafael Salamanca filed a set of petitions on Tuesday. By being the first to file petition signatures, Salamanca secured the first column on the special election ballot. Conventional wisdom says voters read from left to right and that they are used to voting for Democrats in column A (ie, column one).
The last day to file petitions to get on the special election ballot is January 15.

Struggling up the mountainside in a fierce storm, sixteen-year-old Bin-daa-dee-nin tries to survive. The Mescalero Apache has lived off the land in southwestern New Mexico, hunting and raiding since the death of Apache leader Victorio last October 1880.
Just before dawn, under a full moon, Bin-daa-dee-nin finds a black-and-white horse whose intelligence and beauty surpass that of any horse he's ever seen. Bin-daa-dee-nin trains the surefooted pinto to run fast on command so that he can use him to hunt and on raids. But when the army attacks, the horse disappears.
Fourteen-year-old Sarah Chilton has never felt at home on her family's ranch in New Mexico near Cooke's Peak. At least, not the way she did in Fort Smith, Arkansas, where she lived until just four months ago. Then on Valentine's Day, 1881, Sarah finds the horse of her dreams: a gorgeous pinto, wandering near the river under a bright moon. She names him Moon Dancer and teaches him to jump. Just as she's making wonderful progress with Moon Dancer's training, the Apaches raid the ranch, and Bin-daa-dee-nin has his horse back.
Through army battles, Apache raids, and perhaps Moon Dancer's own mysterious desires, the horse changes hands between Sarah and Bin-daa-dee-nin several times. As each puzzles over the training and tricks the other has taught the horse, the boy and girl learn that life requires adaptation and adjustments - and can sometimes bring great joy.
Karen Taschek is the author of fourteen young adult books on horses, including Horse of Seven Moons, the prequel to The Risen Horse. She is the author of Death Stars, Weird Galaxies, and a Quasar-Spangled Universe and Hanging with Bats, and is coeditor for the Barbara Guth Worlds of Wonder Science Series for Young Readers (University of New Mexico Press).

Een zaagmes is een mes met een getand blad, waardoor er niet mee wordt gesneden maar gezaagd. Keukenmessen met een zaagblad zijn er in verschillende uitvoeringen: Een broodmes wordt gebruikt om een biscuit of brood mee te snijden. Zo'n mes wordt ook gebruikt om -bijvoorbeeld- vlees te snijden of vis te fileren. We spreken dan wel eens van een keukenmes, maar dat hoeft geen zaagmes te zijn.

De oppervlaktestructuur van bepaald groente en fruit, zoals de tomaat, is eenvoudiger te doorsnijden met een fijn vertand zaagmes dan met een gewoon mes. Sommige tomatenmessen hebben daarom een lemmet bestaande uit twee delen: een scherp snijvlak én een zaagvlak.

Daarnaast zijn er ook buiten de keuken heel wat toepassingen: takken snoeien, gras trimmen, maar ook sommige onderdelen van zaagmachines noemt men zaagmessen.

Q: Coordinate geometry, proof of midpoint I am reviewing my knowledge of coordinate geometry and came across this question about proving the midpoint formula:

Unfortunately, the answer for this question just says 'proof'.
I am fairly confident with my answer (posted below) but I found it to be quite long, so just wondering if there is a quicker method to prove this (also if someone could quickly read through my proof to make sure it is correct, I would be very happy, thanks).

A: Alternatively, you can use geometrical approach. Refer to the figure:
$\hspace{3cm}$
The points $A(x_1,y_1),B(x_2,y_2),M\left(x_m=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},y_m=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$ are given.
First note that the points $A$, $M$ and $B$ are colinear (i.e. lie on the same line):
$$\text{slope of AM}=\frac{y_m-y_1}{x_m-x_1}=\frac{\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}-y_1}{\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\text{slope of AB}.$$
The triangles $\Delta AMD$ and $\Delta ABC$ are similar, because
their corresponding angles are equal. Hence:
$$\frac{AM}{AB}=\frac{AD}{AC} =\frac{AD}{2AD}=\frac12 \Rightarrow AM=\frac12AB.$$

A: A slightly shorter way would be\begin{align}AM^2&=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}2-x_1\right)^2+\left(\frac{y_1+y_2}2-y_1\right)^2\\&=\left(\frac{-x_1+x_2}2\right)^2+\left(\frac{-y_1+y_2}2\right)^2\\&=\frac14\bigl((-x_1+x_2)^2+(-y_1+y_2)^2\bigr)=\frac14AB^2,\end{align}from which it follows that $AM=\frac12AB$.

A: You may say it this way:
The point $P=\Big(tx_1+[1-t]x_2,ty_1+[1-t]y_2\Big)$ falls within the line section between $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ for $0<t<1$. The distance from $(x_1,y_1)$ to $P$ is proportional to $t$ (which can be easily proved using the distance formula). Here for the midpoint we have $t={1\over 2}$ and hence the result.

Failed Tests: Campus Cruelty Report
Cruel and unnecessary animal testing is rampant in colleges and universities across the United States. Unfortunately, because of limitations in the federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA), most of this testing occurs without any federal protections for the animals or public documentation. It's impossible for us to know just how many animals are being used for this bad science. But using public records, we have compiled a report detailing the use of the small percentage of animals covered by the AWA in order to provide some transparency regarding what's happening to animals in laboratories.
Understanding These Rankings
Cruelty Ranking = Funding + Violations + AWA‑Covered Animals Used
207 Total Animals in 2018
207 other animals

Georgia Southern University Georgia
The AWA explicitly excludes rats, mice, reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds, and invertebrates, so these animals don't have to be included in the school's annual report that it submits to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This ranking uses the 2018 USDA Annual Report, as well as those of previous years, to show trends and shed light on what happens behind closed doors at universities across the country.

FARMER, author and former Genesis drummer Chris Stewart has announced he is taking a year off from writing.
The reason? Wild boars have besieged the Alpujarras farm where Stewart lives with his wife, Ana, and the couple will spend the next year repairing the damage.
Stewart, now 65, has lived on his farm in the Alpujarras mountains of Granada province since 1988.
He published the fourth book in his bestselling autobiographical series, Driving Over Lemons, last summer.

Home News Scottish News Olympic billboards warn of traffic chaos – 400 miles away
Olympic billboards warn of traffic chaos – 400 miles away
Kirsty Topping
SCOTS commuters have been left scratching their heads after billboards were erected warning of traffic chaos – caused by the London Olympics.
Despite being more than 400 miles away from the epicentre of the 2012 games, drivers in Edinburgh are being warned the event could cause congestion.
London is expecting more than 10,000 competitors from 203 countries to take part in 300 events.
The billboards have appeared across the Scottish capital
Drivers in the Scots capital were baffled to be told "Certain roads will be affected during the Games."
But Olympic bosses denied the billboard was a blunder, despite the nearest Olympic event being held 50 miles away when football is played at Hampden Park in Glasgow.
Games chiefs have spent £8.8 million on a campaign to publicise the road chaos, with drivers advised to visit the Transport for London website for details of delays.
The sign features logos for the Mayor of London, National Rail, Department for Transport and Transport for London – but neither it nor the website explain any provision being made in Edinburgh.
One driver who was perplexed by the sign was Kevin Lang.
The 32-yeaar-old said: I've got tickets for various athletic events in the Olympics so I've been drawn to anything with the London 2012 logo on it. This has left me scratching my head though.
"I've been a big supporter of the games but I'm a little bit unsure about how they are going to affect my commute. Maybe it's a ploy to blame the traffic disruption from the trams on something else."
Neil Greig, director of policy and research with the Institute of Advanced Motorists, was also baffled by the poster.
He said: I've seen a number of these billboards in London but I'm surprised and amazed to see them in Edinburgh.
"Transport for London are encouraging people to drive to the Games when it has been widly agreed that the Games can only work if people use public transport. This seems to be a screw up and a complete waste of public money. Traffic information is supposed to be accurate and relevant and this is neither."
A spokeswoman for Transport for London refused to say how much the Edinburgh ads had cost.
She said: "This is a national campaign designed to raise awareness of travel restrictions during the games. There are Olympic events taking place in Glasgow, Newcastle and London, and these posters are to inform those who may be travelling by road to plan and plot their journey accordingly.
"The road network in host cities will be affected and it was felt best to inform those travelling by road that this would be the case. In total the Get Ahead of the Games campaign has cost £8.8 million nationally. How much of this was spent on these posters in Edinburgh I cannot say."
The Games have already caused outrage in the Capital after plans were unveiled to hang a giant set of Olympic rings from Edinburgh Castle.
Protest cause the location to be shifted to the top of The Mound.

"I've Just seen A Face" is a Beatles song written by Paul McCartney. It appeared on the UK version of their album "Help!" in 1965 and on the American version of their album "Rubber Soul", released the same year.
With its distinctive country feel, the song has become a staple among not only country musicians but bluegrass as well. It remains one of the very few Beatles songs that is commonly covered by bluegrass pickers the world over. A must for any burgeoning bluegrass banjo player to learn!
Note: Pay close attention to measures 9 and 10. In measure 9 you're playing a C chord for the entire measure and then suddenly – whammo! – you're fretting the fifth fret third string as soon as measure 10 begins. That's one helluva transition and requires a bit of a jump for the middle finger (which, of course, will be aided by your fretting hand moving slightly to the right). Pay close attention to this part of the song and practice this transition over and over again at slow tempo until you're able to make a smooth transition between these two measures. It's by far the most challenging part of this arrangement!

Community - Holly Springs
Shaded by centuries-old holly trees and filled with a small-town spirit, Holly Springs is a rapidly growing town located southwest of Raleigh. This community is a regular recipient of awards and accolades for its charming qualities and family-oriented feel.
Due to the town's rapid population growth, there are numerous new construction homes for sale in Holly Springs. Additionally, Holly Springs has maintained its heritage and charm with a variety of restored properties and historic homes. The pristine neighborhoods in Holly Springs are shaded by lush holly trees and mature landscaping. In March 2014, financial advice website NerdWallet.com named the best place in North Carolina for homeownership.
Holly Springs is a rapidly growing family-oriented town in the central part of North Carolina within the Triangle region. It is situated about 17 miles from Raleigh, putting a variety of employment opportunities, dining destinations, shops, restaurants and other big city conveniences within reach. Holly Springs was once titled the "Fastest Growing Town in the Carolinas", as it has grown more than 4,000 percent since 1980, and now has a population around 30,000. The town has managed to maintain its desirable small-town feel, and a focus on families despite this rapid growth. In fact, it was voted the "Best Place to Raise Kids in North Carolina", prompting the mayor to say "If it's good for the kids, it's good for Holly Springs".
Holly Springs has two large golf communities, Sunset Ridge and 12 Oaks, which provide a desirable country club lifestyle for its residents. Bass Lake Park hosts a walking trail, nature center, picnic shelter, and boat rentals for the 54-acre Bass Lake, a popular fishing hole in town. The Holly Springs Parks and Recreation Department maintains several parks of all shapes and sizes in town, providing a variety of places for recreation and relaxation. The popular Holly Springs Cultural Center is a $5 million complex hosting a performing arts center, outdoor stage, conference center and library. The community hosts a few annual events and festivals, including HollyFest, the Happy Holly Days Christmas Parade and more.
Holly Springs is part of the Wake County Public School System, the largest public school district in the state and the 16th-largest in the country. In Holly Springs, there are three public elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school. Additionally, there are 79 private schools located in Wake County, although none are located directly in Holly Springs. Due to the town's location within the Triangle, there are a number of higher learning opportunities within reach, including Duke University in Durham, North Carolina State University in Raleigh, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Holly Springs has a rich and long history, much like many small Southern towns. The Tuscarora Indians used the area around Holly Springs as a hunting ground prior to Colonial settlement, and the tribe fled North Carolina around the year 1720 to escape the influx of Europeans. The town of Holly Springs grew around fresh water springs, which are believed to be the original "holly springs". By 1800, the crossroads evolved into a village, which included a general store, church and Masonic Lodge, and eventually a sawmill and cotton gin. The community was poised to be a bustling town, but the Civil War left it economically devastated and many families moved away. This exodus was encouraged by the introduction of the Chatham Railroad running through the nearby village of Apex, which was now more attractive, as it was more connected to the outside world.
In 1875, George Benton Alford relocated his successful mercantile business from Middle Creek Township to Holly Springs, which was instrumental in the economic revival of the community. After both World Wars, Holly Springs suffered economically once again, but the population stabilized by the early 1960s.
In 1985, Holly Springs installed streetlights and constructed a public water system. A sewer plant was completed in 1985, which attracted textile giant Warp Technologies to Holly Springs. With this addition, the town saw substantial economic growth, as the tax base doubled from $8 to $16 million. The town used this boost in revenue to expand utilities, in turn attracting further development and economic prosperity, which continues to this day.

The Wong Sheung Kung Fu Club was founded in 1974 in Victoria, Canada by the late Sheung Wong. Edmond Wong has been the Sifu since the passing of his father. The club has a very rich history and up until Summer 2016, was located in Canada's oldest Chinatown.
The Hung Fut club is very traditional and the only place in Canada teaching this style of Kung Fu. The non profit club is an active member in Canada's oldest Chinese community. The Kung Fu club is non ranking and non competitive (no tournaments). Training involves ground work, stances and forms. The applications, weapons and lion dancing are taught after the basics are mastered.
Born in Hong Kong, Edmond Wong is one of four children. At 10 years old he started training Hung Gar Kung Fu in Hong Kong. At 21 he emigrated to Canada and started training Hung Fut under his father Master Wong Sheung. Edmond Wong has been the Sifu since the passing of his father in 2001.
Terry was born in Guangdong Province, China and immigrated to Canada when he was 11 years old. At age 14, he started training Kung Fu with the late Master Sheung Wong. Terry became Chief Instructor of the Wong Sheung Kung Fu Club in 2001. Terry is very active in the chinese community, and is prevalent in several different associations.
Mark started visiting the Club often in 1980, but did not start training in earnest until 1988. Sigung Wong was a very influential person in Mark's learning of Kung Fu. Since joining the club Mark has trained exclusively in Hung Fut. He has been one of the main instructors for the last 15 years. He received his black sash from Sifu Edmond Wong in 2007.
Godwin began studying kung fu in Edmonton. Alberta under his father in the style of Wing Chun. He then focused his energies towards Hung Gar and fine-tuned his skills in long weapons. In 1999 Godwin moved to Victoria where he came across the Wong Sheung Kung Fu Club. The late Sigung Wong made such an impression that he joined the following week. With a background in long weapons and lion dance, Godwin received his black sash from Sifu Edmond Wong in 2007.


Thank you for your book review. I really like it. Also i love the book. Sinful Empire it's a must read in my opinion. Now i read http://justreadbook.com/book/1097860771/obsession and i think it's a top 100 must read books in a lifetime. I recommend it.


When I get homesick I feel it in my belly.
Although it's only been 9 months since my last trip to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, it often feels like years.
It's a strange experience living in the diaspora. Myriads write about it. It's an inseparable part of being West Indian. We are a region of parts. Though united by history and culture we are divided by water.
I'm watching videos about my country. The pangs hit me again. Not a mansion does it hold for me but always is it first in my heart.
Recently I flew to Vancouver, Canada. The concept of moving among islands, from Richmond to Vancouver island to Granville island to Victoria island. It's a familiar one.
Where I come from, I can decide today to jump on a boat which would tow me to another slab of land dressed in green without having ever left the country. Mayreau, Bequia, Union Island just to name a few of our beautiful gems totaling at thirty two.
I miss the neighbours bearing unexpected gifts of bananas, breadfruits and coconut oil. I miss the shrill ringing of a tambourine on a Sunday and a dry mouthed anticipation for communion.
I miss the sunny rays splayed beyond the height of my mother's bedroom window, littering the ocean with diamonds. The small silhouettes of brown horses galloping behind pickets in the distance. The tall coconut trees waving their fronds, gallant against the wind.
I miss my stout, short buildings and the narrow roads I love to drive on in the country side with the sea salt lapping against my face as I pull the steering wheel clockwise. Turns and bends and hills and curves and the single, strong yellow streak carrying on from town to town.
I miss how the cyan blue pelts against the obsidian beauty that outlines the entire isle. Glittering, kissed with fire of sun and lava.
I miss swinging from the hard, slender limbs of the plum tree. Arching my back to take on the hill before me in a ninja run. Hopefully the odd vehicle who has chosen a path like mine won't bowl me over.
Give me the blaring fish horn on a morning or the smell of the neighbour's boil in or the lost goat in our garden. Give me the pounding flow of rivers battering smooth dark stones for ages. How I long to plunge within that rush of foam and transparency.
I love my one Scotiabank. My KFCs I can count on one hand. Don't let anybody fool you they are landmarks. If I tell you I'm at Scotia you know exactly where my feet are planted. Though little we may be, we are fierce. Like the lingering savour of seasoning and meat on my tongue. Like the directness with which we speak. Like the vigour of our ancestors defending our land and nourishing the green Earth with their bones and names.
French enough for a Colonarie or a Chateaubelair.
English enough for Georgetown or Kingstown.
Syrian or Indian. Portuguese or African. Find us all here in classrooms and shops and nine mornings and beaches. In houses on hills, in town in throngs. united with vocals in creole under the snocone vendor's umbrella, across the park, the galvanise, the street at Peace Mo., the counter.
Steeped in a history of blood and ash, we emerge free with cultures and colours on display. More than blue, gold and green.
Take me to glorious Hairouna. Where the hills and mountains are towers. Where I am small to these leviathans of wonder. Where houses ripple down into valleys with grace though large and looming.
Take me home. Sometime soon.
Until then, I will have to settle for Skinny's video on loop.
P.S. Special thank you to the brilliant Ariel Haynes who supplied these beautiful photos! Inbox my fb page if you would like to know more about her work! See you next week! A commission is coming.
Such a beautiful piece for a beautiful place. Keep writing love.
A beautiful read. Filled with nostalgia and longing.

The UK's longest-running and most prestigious artists' collective
The London Group was set up in 1913 by thirty two artists including Walter Sickert, Jacob Epstein, Wyndham Lewis, David Bomberg, and Henri Gaudier Brzeska, with the aim of creating a powerful artist-run group to act as a counter-balance to institutions such as the Royal Academy. The founding group created a unique structure for an organisation, that has gone on to successfully nurture the careers of many of Britain's best-known artists. You can read more about the history of the group here.
"A vital strand of artistic diversity and free-thinking in an art-world increasingly dominated by market forces and curatorial conformity."
Nicholas Usherwood, Features Editor, Galleries Magazine
The London Group Today
The London Group is a thriving democratic artists' collective practicing in all disciplines, from painting and sculpture to moving image, digital and performance, with a full annual events programme in London around the UK and abroad. The London Group currently holds many of its events at The Cello Factory, Waterloo, London.
The Group's written constitution requires it "to advance public awareness of contemporary visual art by holding exhibitions annually." The Group's focus today is on self-generated exhibitions curated and managed by its members. The London Group holds a prestigious biennial Open Exhibition where artists, at all stages of their careers, are invited to submit work to exhibit alongside the members. The Group holds regular social Salons where the members share their knowledge and skills with each other.
Working Committee
All the work of the Group is done through the Working Committee. There are many jobs from curating and hanging shows to social media and writing, to mopping up after Private Views. The current committee is here.
There are currently 96 members in the group. You can see every historical member here.
Existing members are eligible to nominate new members for election based on submission of their current work. The selection committee sits once a year. Criteria for membership is the quality of the artist's work and their commitment to the Group's activities. As a collective the Group finds its strength in its encouragement of diversity. If you are interested in joining the Group the best way to start is by submitting work to the Open exhibition and make contact with an existing member.

Who Was the First to Perform at the Caveman Music Festival?
Who Was the First to Perform at the Caveman Music Festival?2023-01-25T19:26:51-06:00
The Caveman Music Festival is a four-day event in Colorado, and tickets start at $470. While there is no lodging at the festival grounds, the event does have shuttle services and camping is available nearby. It's 45 miles south of Buena Vista. Currently, this year's lineup includes Pharrell Williams' "Something in the Water." While the Caveman Music Festival is not the only music festival in the area, it is one of the most anticipated events of the summer.
(Searching in Google "Country Concert Colorado 2023"? Contact us today!)
Caveman is a Brooklyn quintet
The New York rock band Caveman is a great choice for their music festival debut. Formed in 2009 after several other bands disbanded, the quintet self-released its debut album CoCo Beware. The quintet then toured with Built to Spill and The War On Drugs before recording their second album for Fat Possum. The band is currently working on their third album.
After the self-titled EP was released in 2012, the quintet toured extensively. They will headline shows in Chicago and Toronto and also play Brooklyn's Knitting Factory. They will also open for Caveman at Webster Hall on April 10.
Atlanta R&B phenomenon Tripp Redd will perform at the caveman music festival
Fans of Atlanta R&B music should not miss this opportunity to catch the rising star in a live performance at the festival. The R&B artist hails from Atlanta, Georgia. He is a member of the popular Red Parrot Orchestra, a group formed by R. Parker, Jr., and LP. The caveman music festival will also feature the legendary DJ Big Daddy Kane.
Other hot acts performing at the caveman music festival include the LP ADDS, Gap Band, and the Pointer Sisters. Other Atlanta acts that will perform are Bullet and the Atlanta R&B phenomenon Tripp Redd. The festival also features several other hot acts including the Gap Band, Deniece Williams, L. Richie, and P. Labelle. It's a perfect way to get in the groove of the music festival while having a great time at the same time.
Pharrell Williams' Something in the Water is performance art and political activism
After two years without a festival, Pharrell Williams is bringing it back with his Something in the Water performance art and political activism festival this June on the National Mall. Williams, who is originally from Virginia Beach, decided to move the event after his cousin was killed by a police officer in Virginia Beach last year. The festival will honor the music superstar with performances by 21 Savage, Travis Scott, and SZA.
The concert was held in the middle of the ongoing pandemic in the U.S., which makes the show a particularly important political statement. At the 2019 Something in the Water festival, which was held in the middle of downtown Washington, rapper Lil Uzi Vert performed a song called "XO Tour Llif3" as his spiked hair poked against the Capitol dome's backdrop. The lyrics of the song read: "All of my friends are dead."


Because all these years after the republic's founding, we remain a nation of immigrants.
The author was communications director for Sen. Edward M. Kennedy from 2005 to 2007. Last week, President Barack Obama dedicated the new Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate in Boston.
"They come to our country to work — to work," Sen. Ted Kennedy would tell me as we walked to and from meetings in the Russell Senate Office Building. He was talking about immigrants, of course, and as his aide in the 2000s, I saw up close the Liberal Lion's commitment to immigration reform.
For Senator Kennedy, it was personal, inscribed in his family tree. He often carried with him a worn copy of his brother John's classic monograph, A Nation of Immigrants, which paved the way for 1965's monumental immigration reform. His brother Robert was a powerful advocate for the farmworkers' movement led by Cesar Chavez. And in speeches, Senator Kennedy spoke of Boston Harbor's "Golden Steps, where waves of new immigrants entered this new land of liberty and opportunity, including all eight of [his] own great-grandparents from Ireland." To him, a young man from Mexico risking everything to pick almonds in Fresno was making the same sacrifices his forefathers had.
In 2006, we had a real shot at passing an immigration reform bill that would have given 11 million people a chance to earn citizenship. President George W. Bush was genuinely committed to meaningful reform. Kennedy put his might into the bill, forging a powerful alliance with Sen. John McCain — a man he usually disagreed with but with whom he built a bond of trust and jovial friendship. Behind the scenes, and putting major differences aside, Kennedy worked with Karl Rove, the architect of the presidential campaign that defeated his friend John Kerry.
The senator's rendition was both cringe-worthily enthusiastic and a tender expression of his true compassion and zest for life.
While working the internal levers of the Senate, Kennedy also did his part to move public opinion. He headlined massive rallies and took to the airwaves to do battle with opponents like conservative TV host Lou Dobbs and also to rally the base through Spanish-language media. One day I arranged for him to call into the most popular Spanish radio program in the country, El Piolin, which at the time attracted millions of listeners. The distinguished senator was feeling particularly jovial that day; he ended the interview by crooning the classic Mexican song "Jalisco." The song envisions a kind of romance between the Mexican state of Jalisco and its capital city, Guadalajara, and the senator's rendition was both cringe-worthily enthusiastic and a tender expression of his true compassion and zest for life. I soon learned this was not unusual: He had a history of unapologetically breaking into Spanish song whenever the magic struck — to the delight of both fans and foes alike.
That year, and the next, we came painfully close to passing legislation yet failed to get it across the finish line. Kennedy set his sights on the 2008 election — and kept his singing in tune. He hit the trail for candidate Obama, and "Jalisco" became a staple when visiting Hispanic areas of the country. He'd beam with pride as he campaigned in Texas alongside his nephew Joe Kennedy — now a congressman — who is fluent in Spanish from his Peace Corps service. They'd assure the largely Latino crowds that, with Obama as president, a fairer immigration system would be on the horizon.
Kennedy died eight months after Obama's inauguration. And seven years later, their shared dream of immigration reform hasn't become reality, despite how hard Obama has worked for it. But as the Senator Kennedy famously said when he addressed the 1980 Democratic Convention, "The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die." Sí se puede.

I called the lab that did the wrong test on Kiyan's blood sample, since I'm not going to pay for something I didn't order. Mistakes happen, I know. I called the number on the bill we got from the lab, and entered Voice Menu Hell. About 3 menu deep, I pick an option that dead ended. I nearly threw the phone.
A couple tries later, I'm trying to find any human. I pick the option to review the account and make a payment, figuring that somewhere is a human hidden like the great Wizard of Oz behind a curtain somewhere, watching this rat try to traverse the maze. I enter the invoice number.
The balance due is $0. They took care of it themself. I nearly dropped the phone. Only took me about 7 minutes of listening to confusing options, pushing buttons, backing up and trying again.
Probably tomorrow I'll take Kiyan in for another blood draw so they can try again.


A number of sightings near ocean beaches over the holiday weekend and the subsequent washing ashore of several Portuguese man o' war this week prompted DNREC Division of Parks & Recreation Natural Resources Police to issue a caution statement urging people to avoid the stinging jellyfish relatives that are rare tropical visitors to the Delaware coast.
Unknown for at least 15 years in Delaware state parks, one Portuguese man o' war washed up on Faithful Steward Beach at Delaware Seashore State Park on Sunday night, while another beached early Monday at Fenwick Island State Park, and a third that afternoon at Cape Henlopen State Park, Chief of Enforcement Wayne Kline said.
Ordinarily, stings from the Portuguese man o' war cause pain that lasts up to an hour and leaves whip-like red welts on the skin for several days afterward, said Cpl. Bryan John, head of the Natural Resources Police lifeguard patrol. He advised that man o' war stings, in rare instances, can result in a dangerous allergic reaction, possibly even fatal ones.
"Help should be sought immediately if the sting victim exhibits any of the following conditions," John said, citing the need for assistance for a victim whose symptoms may include: trouble breathing, swelling of the lips or tongue, closure of the wind pipe, dizziness, fainting and vomiting, nausea or cramps.
"If you are stung, seek the assistance of a lifeguard immediately," he said. "If you are stung on an unguarded beach, acting as quickly as you can, you should remove the tentacles with a towel, stick or anything handy — avoiding further contact with bare skin — and then rinse the area of the sting with sea water. Do not rub it," John said.
Kline also encouraged any beachgoers encountering a Portuguese man o' war at a Delaware State Park beach to exit the water immediately and inform the nearest lifeguard of their sighting.
He noted that, with these marine creatures having gone unseen on the state's beaches for a number of years, many beachgoers may not be familiar with their appearance. In the water, he said, they can seem to be an inflated purple-tinted blue balloon floating along on the ocean surface, while washed up on beach sand they may resemble a harmless duller blue plastic bag.
He reiterated that, no matter how compelling or exotic they may be for inviting a closer look, or touch, contact with the Portuguese man o' war is to be avoided at all costs.

The interest in machine learning and the associated appetite to drive business outcomes from such investments continues to build. I've been talking to many insurance organisations over the past 18 months around machine learning and four consistent areas tend to arise as organisations grapple with the application and value of machine learning.
As 2017 gets well underway, I thought it prudent to share and gather opinion experiences in the insurance industry and I've also summarized these points of view as part of Louise Matthews' 'Five Minutes with….' video series.
First and foremost, machine learning WILL change the way insurers do business. The insurance industry is founded on forecasting future events and estimating the value/impact of those events and has used established predictive modeling practices – especially in claims loss prediction and pricing – for some time now. With big data and new data sources such as sensors/telematics, external data sources (Data.gov), digital (interactions), social and Web (sentiment), the opportunity to apply machine learning techniques has never been greater across new areas of insurance operations.
Machine Learning has now become an essential tool for insurers and it is used extensively across the core value chain to understand risk, claims and customer experience. Specifically, it is enabling insurance companies to yield higher predictive accuracy, as it can fit more flexible/complex models. As opposed to traditional statistical methods, machine learning takes advantage of the power of data analytics and is capable of computing seemingly unrelated datasets whether structured, semi-structured or unstructured.
Structured data: type of loss, amount of loss, physician ID, etc.
Text: Notes, diaries, medical bills, accident reports, depositions, social data, invoices, etc.
Spatial, graph: accident location, work location, relationship of parties (physician, claimant, repair facilities), etc.
Time series: sequence of events/actions, claim date, accident date, duration between events/action, etc.
Now more than ever, insurers have the ability to evaluate mass amounts of underwriting/claims notes and diary (unstructured data), in addition to more standard documentation.
Pricing risk, estimating losses and monitoring fraud are critical areas that machine learning can support. Insurers have introduced machine learning algorithms primarily to handle risk similarity analytics, risk appetite and premium leakage. However, it is also widely used to aid the frequency/severity of claims, manage expenses, subrogation (general insurance), litigation and fraud.
One of the most impactful machine learning use cases is the ability to learn from audits of closed claims, as for the very first time leakage becomes controllable by the insurer. Claim audits are traditionally a manual process by nature, however, machine learning techniques provide an up-lift in the ability to learn from those by applying enhanced scoring and process methods throughout the claims lifecycle.
Those claim handling algorithms can be also used to monitoring and detecting fraud; however, one of the limiting factors may be the number of claims fraud cases/instances an insurance company has as the fraud datasets are fundamental for both traditional and machine learning models.
I'm often asked if machine learning can deliver a tangible decline in fraud rates and I do believe it can have an impact on earlier identification, or 'counter-fraud' techniques. The key element is to reduce the false positives and to apply machine learning algorithms to help determine which claims are potentially fraudulent vs. those that are legitimate.
Insurance companies applying this technique are reducing fraud in two aspects: earlier identification of the fraud and allocating resource time on the claim fraud investigation vs. spending on valid claims. This also increase customer satisfaction as valid claims are paid faster.
Learning Phase: where you are learning from "training data" or claims which are fraudulent and those which are valid. it consists on pre-processing (normalization, dimension reduction, image processing if you are using photos, aerial images etc), learning (supervised, unsupervised, minimization, etc.) and error analysis (precision, recall, overfitting, test/cross validation, etc.).
Prediction Phase: here one uses the model from the learning phase and apply it to new data and is deployed for detecting and flagging fraud.
Continuous Learning Phase: it is key to continuously recalibrate your models with new data and behaviors.
In addition to machine learning, the usage of Graph Analytics is also rapidly becoming popular because of its ability to visualise fraud patterns.
The usage of Graph Analytics with Apache Spark/GraphX is a newer method being leveraged as it enables the usage of neural network and social networks which is key in claims fraud analysis. This method is becoming quite popular vs. traditional claims scoring or business rules as these methods (considered a "flagging model") and may result in too many false positives.
A Graph Analytics technique can help you understand the data relationships and is also used for investigating individual claims fraud cases. This method allows insurance companies to more quickly visualize fraud patterns vs. traditional scoring models.

Hi, Thanks for the article. I am a business consultant working in Insurance industry. Can you provide examples of some of the machine learning based commercial products which are being used or getting tried out in the industry today? I always get IBM Watson's name from everybody but not many other commercial products are heard in this space.
Suyash — for commercially available products take a look at SynerScope with their ixiwa and iximeer products; H20ai, DataRobot; and CognitiveScale. Apache Spark would definitely be an open source option which you will see many of commercially available products leveraging in their solutions.


It becomes tougher for universities to hide poor teaching behind wonderful research. Their function also points to the value of creating precalculus and calculus offered to all students who are ready to study them. A great boss will know how to operate with these quirky guys. When comparing the outcomes for racial/ethnic groups from 2013 to earlier assessment years, benefits for Asian and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander students were combined into a single Asian/Pacific Islander category for all previous assessment years.


Making a difference within the school and community is what K-Kids is all about! Club members identify needs within the school and community and develop a plan of action to meet those needs. Whether it's collecting coats and canned goods for those in need or organizing a teacher appreciation event, K-Kids members have the opportunity to work together with Kiwanis-family volunteers to make the community and the world a better place.
K-Kids can provide opportunities for students to discover their heart to serve. When students discover their heart to serve, they decide that serving others is a new, exciting way of life. The service club experience at a young age can help students accept their own ability to make a difference, enhance their knowledge of their own passions and convictions, and develop their ability to empathize with those in need in their communities.
How can you support this discovery?
Ensure that community service remains the clubs main focus.
Facilitate conversations before and after service projects to help students express their emotions and insights.
Pay attention to members who identify a passion and help them find resources to investigate this further.
Introduce the club to community charities and cause-related organizations.
Make sure the club's choices for projects and service initiatives are student led.

[Fantasia 2019 Review] DIY Supernatural Thriller THE DEEPER YOU DIG is a Hallucinatory Exploration of Grief and Loss
[Trailer] Cult Thriller THEM THAT FOLLOW Will Slither Under Your Skin
Posted by DeVaughn Taylor | Jun 7, 2019 | Horror News, Trailers |
Snakes, cults, and Academy Award winner Olivia Coleman. The trailer for a new, creepy cult horror Them That Follow has all the goods and then some.
Them That Follow is the feature debut of writing/directing duo Brittany Poulton & Dan Madison Savage. The film looks to tell the tale of a family that's part of a religious group, deep in the Appalachia woods. And like most cults, there's most likely something more sinister brewing beneath the surface.
Set deep in the wilds of Appalachia, where believers handle death-dealing snakes to prove themselves before God, Them That Follow tells the story of a pastor's daughter who holds a secret that threatens to tear her community apart.
First impressions of the trailer present us with a gritty and grounded approach to the cult sub-genre, focusing more on atmosphere and character performances than supernatural elements. It's very effective in the trailer, selling us on the ensemble cast, including a mixture of fresh faces and veterans such as: Olivia Coleman (The Favourite), Alice Englert (Beautiful Creatures), Lewis Pullman (Bad Times at the El Royale), Walton Goggins (The Hateful Eight), and more. While I'm excited about the whole cast, Goggins as a crazy cult pastor gives me tingles.
Them That Follow premiered at Sundance this year and was met with generally positive reviews praising the films atmosphere, screenplay, and intimate study of the characters. The trailer backs up these claims with powerful imagery of snakes and the volatile emotions of the members of the mountain community. The snakes are constantly referenced with being cleansed, most likely a recurring theme explored in the film that could lead to some squirm-worthy scenes. If you're afraid of snakes, this movie to be your nightmare!
READ NEXT: HALLOWEEN Begins Filming + New Cast Announcements
From Midsommar, to The Endless, to Hereditary, cult horror is definitely hot right now. Will Poulton & Savages debut land on that list as well? We'll have to find out when Them That Follow hits theaters August 2nd, 2019 later this summer. Let us know your thoughts over on Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit!

Magical Strings Celebrates 40 Years of Celtic Yuletide Concerts!
season brings warmth and joy into the heart of winter.
"Just keeps getting more amazing!"
For 40 years the Boulding family has been bringing generations together for a joyful celebration of Celtic Yuletide, weaving magic with their lively and soulful music, storytelling and champion Irish step-dancing. Philip and Pam's Celtic harps and hammered dulcimers are gloriously accompanied by their daughter and four sons on violin, cello, whistles, harmonium and harp. Youngest grandson Haydn brings down the house with his dancing, percussion and sidekick to his father Brenin on juggling. Canadian fiddler Jocelyn Pettit, Dublin guitarist Colm McCarthaigh, dynamic percussionist Matt Jerrell and the Tara Academy of Irish Dance return again this year adding their brilliance in song, rhythm and dance. Join our whole family for this 40th annual gala as we bring joy and warmth into the heart of winter. Feel the magic, join the procession and kindle the light of Yuletide!
Philip and Pam Boulding founded Magical Strings in 1978 and soon afterwards began the tradition of their family's Celtic Yuletide Concerts. They have performed throughout the United States, Canada, Ireland and Japan, toured and recorded 21 celebrated albums on five labels and have had their music described as "warm, graceful and sonically gorgeous" by the Washington Post. They return to Ireland often where they receive inspiration from their explorations of ancient sites, distant islands and lively music sessions.
The Bouldings' love of music is embraced by all five of their grown children. Philip and Pam also design and build Celtic harps and hammered dulcimers for an international clientele, run their School of Magical Strings, offering classes in Olalla and Seattle, and host the Magic Hill Summer Harp and Dulcimer Camp on their beautiful five-acre home overlooking the Puget Sound. They also love to share their music with children through teaching privately, in Waldorf Schools, and by giving school programs locally and throughout the country.
Son Brenin, Magical Strings' cellist and juggler, is married to Sara, director of the Tara Academy of Irish Dance. Their 18-year-old daughter Rowan has a passion for dancing both as an award winning Irish step dancer and a ballerina and is currently a first year student of the Alonzo King LINES Ballet BFA at Dominican University. Haydn, who is the Western Regional Irish Dance Champion for boys 10 & under, adds dynamic percussion to the set as well as his spectacular dancing. Geoffrey on violin and Marshall on harp live in Rhode Island and each have two lovely daughters who will be traveling here to the NW for this 40th annual celebration. Morgan, who lives in Kingston, WA with his wife Sylvia performs on whistles and on a turn of the century field organ.
Brittany, youngest member of the Boulding family and a virtuoso violinist, is a member of the Seattle Symphony, Concertmaster of the Northwest Sinfonietta and the Auburn Symphony. She keeps a busy schedule as a soloist and chamber musician and will be joined by her husband baritone Prescott Breeden who will add his amazing voice at all of the Yuletide concerts.
Tara Academy of Irish Dance, established and run by the Raney family, has a 24-year tradition of excellence in instruction and performance. The Tara dancers are proud to share in the heritage of Irish dance in the Pacific Northwest. Sisters Sara, Julie (co-director of the Tara Academy of Irish Dance), Erin, Mary, Colleen and Brigid began their family tradition with Magical Strings in 1992, as the Raney Irish Dancers. Their parents Pat and Barb Raney, who create and embroider the beautiful traditional dance costumes, help during the intermission for audience members to choose and don a costume for the processional. Everyone is welcome to join us as we process through the hall at the beginning of the second set.
An important member of the Yuletide family is brilliant percussionist Matt Jerrell, who is married to Brigid Raney. Their 8-year-old daughter Cadence will delight you with her dancing.
Dublin-born multi-instrumentalist Colm MacCarthaigh writes tunes and songs, sings in English and Irish and is an in-demand session guitarist and bouzouki player who has played and toured with musicians worldwide. This will be Colm's eighth season performing with Magical Strings.

Full Text Obama Presidency July 17, 2013: President Barack Obama's Remarks on the Confirmation of Richard Cordray as Director for Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Remarks by the President on the Confirmation of Richard Cordray as Director for CFPB
State Dining Room
11:04 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Well, for decades, the middle class in this country was the engine that powered the economy, and that allowed us to all grow together. Hard work paid off. Responsibility was rewarded. It was that basic bargain that made this country great — that no matter who you are or where you came from, you could make it if you put in enough blood, sweat and tears.
But over time, a winner-take-all philosophy began to take hold and it delivered huge rewards to those at the very top, but left everybody else working harder and harder just to stay afloat. A lot of families took on more debt just to keep up. Mortgages were sold that people really didn't understand and, in some cases, couldn't afford. The financial sector was able to make huge bets with other people's money. And that strain of irresponsibility eventually came crashing down on all of us.
Now, I ran for President to restore that basic bargain. I ran because I believed that our economy works best not from the top down, but from the middle out and from the bottom up, where you've got a rising, thriving middle class and ladders of opportunity for everybody.
So four years ago, even as we were working on restoring the economy and dealing with the immediate crisis, we also wanted to figure out how do we set new rules for the road to make sure that a few bad apples in the financial sector couldn't break the law, or cheat consumers, or put the entire economy at risk.
And I was fortunate even when I was running for President to have some friends like Elizabeth Warren, who had already done a lot of academic work on this and had a whole series of ideas about how we might start making sure that consumers were treated better, and as a consequence, take some of the risk out of the system. And because of those conversations and that work, and because of some terrific efforts by other members in Congress, we were able, for the time in history, to get a consumer watchdog on the job — to look out for the interests of everyday Americans. And I am very proud to say that last night, Rich Cordray was finally confirmed — (laughter) — by the United States Senate to keep serving as America's consumer watchdog and as the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. So we're very pleased about that. (Applause.)
I first nominated Rich for this position two years ago this week. (Laughter.) He was eminently qualified. He had the support of Democrats and Republicans from across the country. A majority of state attorneys general from both parties — Rich's former colleagues — called on him to be confirmed. And for two years, Republicans in the Senate refused to give Rich a simple yes-or-no vote — not because they didn't think he was the right person for the job, but because they didn't like the law that set up the consumer watchdog in the first place.
But without a director in place, the CFPB would have been severely hampered. And the CFPB wasn't able to give consumers the information they needed to make good, informed decisions. Folks in the financial system who were doing the right thing didn't have much certainty or clear rules of the road. And the CFPB didn't have all the tools it needed to protect consumers against mortgage brokers, or credit reporting agencies, or debt collectors who were taking advantage of ordinary Americans.
As a consequence, last year, I took steps on my own to temporarily appoint Richard so he could get to work on their behalf. And Americans everywhere are better off because he did. And thanks to not only Rich, but his terrific team — I know many are represented here — we've made real strides, even despite the fact that the agency was hampered by the confirmation process.
And I would argue that part of the reason we were able to finally get Rich confirmed today is because he's shown through his leadership and because of the very hard work that everybody at the CFPB has already done that this is making a difference in the lives of the American people — a positive difference day in, day out. It's hard to argue with success.
So, yesterday, Richard was officially confirmed. I want to thank Senators from both parties, including Senator Reid, Senator McConnell, Senator McCain, for coming together to help get Rich confirmed. And obviously, Elizabeth, who wasn't a senator when she thought this up, but is now a senator — she was poking and prodding people for a long time — (laughter) — to help make it happen.
Senator Reid's leadership, in particular, was obviously instrumental in getting this done, and I couldn't be more grateful to him.
And together, we're giving Americans a guarantee that the protections they enjoy today will still be around next year, and the year after that, and the year after that, and for years to come.
While we're on the topic of nominations, I also want to thank the Senate for agreeing to give my other nominees who've waited far too long the votes that they deserve. These are all highly qualified men and women who are just ready to go to work for the American people — for students and for seniors, for veterans, for middle-class families. Special interests, they'll always have their lobbyists. They'll always have the capacity to tilt the system in their favor. But middle-class folks deserve leaders who are going to stand up for them as well on a day-to-day basis, in the trenches.
So let me use this opportunity to remind people of what the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau under Rich's leadership can do and has done already, even in some difficult circumstances.
Today, if you want to take out a mortgage or a student loan or a payday loan, or you've got a credit reporting agency or debt collector who's causing you problems — maybe they're not playing by the rules, maybe they're taking advantage of you — you have somewhere to go. The CFPB has already addressed more than 175,000 complaints from all across the nation, giving people an advocate who is working with them when they're dealing with these financial institutions that may not always be thinking about consumers first.
Today, as part of the CFPB's "Know Before You Owe" efforts, students and their parents can get a simple report with the information they need before taking out student loans. And more than 700 colleges have joined to make this information clear and transparent. It's making a difference.
And by the way, if you've noticed that some credit card forms are becoming easier to understand than they used to be, that's because of the work of Rich's team and other folks across this administration have done to make sure that people understand the kinds of debts that they're taking on through their credit cards.
Today, veterans have access to tools that they need to defend against dishonest lenders and mortgage brokers who try to prey on them when they come home from serving their country. Today seniors are better protected from someone who sees their homes or their retirement savings as an easy target for get-rich-quick schemes.
And thanks to the hard work of folks at the CFPB, so far 6 million Americans have gotten more than $400 million in refunds from companies that engaged in unscrupulous practices.
So this is not just some abstract, theoretical exercise. Families, many of them hard-pressed, have money in their pockets, maybe, in some cases, saved a home or were able to send their kids to college, because of the work that Rich and his team is doing right now. And that's money that oftentimes families didn't have the power to recover before.
So Americans are better off because of what Rich has done as our consumer watchdog and his outstanding team is doing each and every day. And, by the way, that's just the tangible benefits that we know of, that $400 million in refunds. But part of what happens is when you've got a watchdog, people don't try as many things. And everybody starts tightening up their practices because they know somebody is watching. And so that has ripple effects throughout our economy.
So Americans everywhere are better off because of the work that these folks have done. And now that Rich has gotten the yes-or-no vote he deserved, businesses and consumers have more certainty than they did before that this will continue.
So we've come a long way over the last four and a half years. Our economy is growing. Our businesses have created 7.2 million new jobs over the past 40 months. We've locked in new safeguards to protect against another crisis, and we are making sure that we are doing everything we can to change the incentives inside the financial system and try to end tax-funded — taxpayer-funded bailouts for good. And even though more work remains, our system is fairer and it's more sound than it was when the crisis hit.
Of course, we've still got a long way to go to restore that basic bargain, to restore that sense of security that too many middle-class families still are fighting to rebuild. But if we just keep letting people like Rich do their jobs, if we let all these incredible young people know that you're going to keep on going for a long time, you're building something that will last beyond our government's service and we'll be providing protections for generations to come — and if we keep focused on that North Star — a rising, thriving middle class, an economy where prosperity is broad-based — then I'm confident that we're ultimately going to get to where we need to go.
So I want to thank everybody. And I just want to give Rich a quick chance to say something. (Applause.)
MR. CORDRAY: Thank you. I want to thank the President — this President, in particular, who has believed in us from the beginning. I want to thank the Senate and the senators for the chance to persevere and be confirmed as the director of this Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. All I ever asked for, all I ever worked for was to have a chance to have an up-or-down vote on the merits, and I thank them for that.
For nearly two years, as the President indicated, we have been focused on making consumer finance markets work better for the American people. Today's action — the action — I was sworn in by the Vice President this morning, and the Senate confirmation — means that there will be certainty for those markets and for the industries we oversee.
For me, it also reaffirms that our central responsibility is to stand on the side of consumers and see that they're treated fairly, just as the President described it. It's something that people deserve. It's something that they want and need. And we're there to try to provide it.
We will continue that essential work and each one of us — those of us here and those of us in Washington and around the country who work for this new Consumer Bureau, including most especially myself — we're grateful for the opportunity that you've given us to serve our country in this important way.
Thank you. Thank you, sir. (Applause.)

Have you heard about gap insurance? Curious about what it does? How it works?
The increase in health insurance premiums, year over year, has led to some pretty creative solutions. Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are both examples of strategies that seek to raise the deductible for a group plan and then have a plan for mitigating all or a portion of the risk taken on with the higher deductible. Unfortunately, HRAs and HSAs don't shift all the risk onto someone else, they rely on the employer and/or employee taking on more risk as well. For some employers, that's a great idea. For others, the amount of perceived risk may be more than they want to take on.
Gap Insurance is designed to replace all or a portion of the deductible with fully-insured coverage for that corridor. Gap Insurance does not typically pay for the costs of prescription drugs or doctors visits, it's there to cover the cost for care that's typically delivered in a hospital.
Gap Insurance is not usually designed to be paired with a Qualified High Deductible Plan – it works best when paired with a traditional PPO.
Bottom Line – Gap Insurance can be a great tool. It can also be a little complicated and it's important to make sure that everyone involved knows how it works. Also, Gap Insurance is a group health plan tool – it's not available on an individual basis.

Every one of us value our homes because it is the perfect place to take a rest after a day's busy work, to spend time with family, enjoying moments together and living happily and peacefully. But when it's time to let your home go, it is important to still get the best value for it, taking into consideration the time, money and effort you have invested. Sometimes, you may get quotes that are really far below what you're expecting, and that cause an emotional impact because other people seem just to devalue your home and are just trying to bargain so much. While many homeowners wants to sell their houses fast and with the best price, don't be eaten up by your emotions because selling a home is a business and so you should be ready to face all the challenges that will come along the way.
If you're considering purchasing buildings or other properties, you may want to make sure that the area is safe first by having asbestos removal businesses assess the place for asbestos contamination. The presence of asbestos in the workplace causes health problems in the future which may lead to asbestos lawsuits. Therefore, it is better to do the right thing now by hiring reputable asbestos removal companies in your location who will provide you with complete services including pre and post demolition surveys, testing and monitoring, sampling of air and quality control of asbestos abatement projects.
But, to minimize costs, you may try employing an independent contractor for the inspection part and a different one for the removal of the asbestos. Having both jobs done by one of the asbestos removal companies in your region will produce a conflict of interest. Thus, it's better to have a different inspector do the inspection before and after another company does the removal work. This will help in providing quality control as well.
Asbestos removal companies nowadays provide other unique services such as training courses that focus on asbestos management and asbestos awareness. These classes are usually available on naturally occurring asbestos websites. Since asbestos is a product of nature when it occurs; naturally, it does not pose any danger to humans. The issue comes about when asbestos is disturbed and asbestos particles and microscopic fibers are released into the air. People may inhale this, and that is when it may pose a hazardous threat to our health as it can cause asbestosis, lung cancer, mesothelioma and other types of cancer. This becomes a basis for expensive asbestos lawsuits which many companies are going through right now.

Know How You can Effectively Choose the Right Project Management Training Course It really is important that you will have to be really specific when it comes to choosing the best project management training course. An education provider that is PMI registered is one thing you need to be concerned about as this should assure that they have professional development units issued, which is required by the PMI to have certification maintained accordingly. Generally speaking, what you will want to choose is to make sure that you will want to go for a training course that is legit and one that has provided everything you need. Be sure you will want to check and look into the very items we have included below for you to be able to assure that you will make the right selection down the line. Generally speaking, it is very important for you to make sure that you will have to be really specific about the training school you will choose and that this should have been functioning for over a year now. See to it that they should have all of the possible training materials they have evaluated ahead. They should have always been really consistent in terms of being able to meet the PMI global standards. Furthermore, it is very important for you to make sure that they provide PDU to their participants.
For you to be certain you are picking the right training institute, it should be that they have been accredited. As much as possible, it is very helpful for you to make sure that you will want to choose one that has been verified independently as per rates of graduate employment is concerned.
If you are a person who uses vending machines with frequency, you might value them very much, thinking of them as convenient and easy ways to get whatever it is you need. You might also appreciate the fact that there are a lot of different vending machines to choose from, and that you can find almost anything in them, from steaming coffee to soda drinks, snacks to tissue paper or other essentials. One will be happy and excited to know that instead of just being one who uses a vending machine, he or she can actually own a vending machine franchise. One will be even happier to know that there are a lot of benefits connected with owning a vending machine, and that when he or she decides to get a franchise, these benefits can belong to him or her.
When one decides to purchase a vending machine franchise, he or she will be able to benefit, first of all, because owning this kind of business offers great flexibility. The reason why this is so is because a vending machine can be left alone when people are busy, as they do not have to be watched at all hours. For those who wish to have a type of business which gives them the chance to be flexible with their lives and their hours, then, vending machine franchises are just the thing.


Much like our recent Victorian rock climbing trip was prompted by a teaching commitment, I'm now 'home alone' after some time in Tasmania.
Sarah and Bryn are still there – with (maybe) a tale to tell of their own. In the few days we had as a three-some he was having a word explosion, so there may be a myriad more when I see them again in too long a time.
So, your parents camp at the end of winding 4WD track in amongst the she-oaks, not to far from the top of a precipitous cliff; and all you're interested in is the rather intriguing trailer hitch of their camp-neighbours….
Getting them to stay on isn't as easy as it's felt it should be.
Temperatures passing 30 celcius one afternoon sent us scurrying swimming-wards. Heading back to camp is a fair bit faster when the over-inquisitive are carried.
Looking beyond the orchard to pastures steep and very well appointed with views.
